Right. x86 will need this type of logic for 32-bit execs when they
aren't not built on a 64-bit system, and for 64-bit execs when they
aren't built on a 32-bit system.

I think it makes perfect sense to do this in INSTALL_RULE.
As you said, this will avoid changes to test individual
Makefiles and new test writers don't have to worry about
adding this.

Would you like make the necessary changes?
